I make my own out of 2lt soda bottles. My method is to use some cheap and nasty sugary soda like generic fruit punch flavor, but I like the banana peel to keep it going as it dries out. I was cutting the top off and inverting it and using tie wraps to secure it. a small hole in the curved part is MUCH easier!

I will try this new method in the spring!

Was there an extra secret to capturing the queens?
